Hi,
NuvaRing shows few reported failure rates even if taken within 72 hrs. Also it has few side effects like stomach pain, dizziness, headache, stomach upset, breast pain, changes in menstrual cycle etc. Delay could be due to pregnancy or change in the pattern of cycle.
I advice you to:
- Do serum beta HCG test which is more reliable than HPT to rule out pregnancy.
- Watch for the next cycle, if there is still delay consult your doctor
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
